Stiegl Weisse. 5.1%. "100% from Austria"Served in small glass Stiegl mug at the brewery in Salzburg.

Murky caramel brown with a creamy and durable tan head. The head leaves some lacing. A. Banana, clove, and bready malt, in that order. T: About as expected from the nose, except spicier. Rather wheaty.M: Light body is a bit watery; good carbonation.O: not a style of beer I usually enjoy much, but this one certainly has an exceptional mouthfeel.

Had this on tap last weekend on the German pub crawl, and saw the sharp red-labeled bottle today in the shop.

Back label dated "13711" whatever that means. Guessing a euro best by/production date of July 13th, 2011? Old either way.

Into a weizen glass it pours an opaque orange copper color. Slightly more dark than a typical hefe. Lasting white foam, though there is no lacing.

Smells bready and tea-like, not much in the way of traditional banana & clove esters. Swirling the glass brings out some sweetness and unpleasant alcohol fusels. Slightly papery and oxidized already it seems, a shame as this is relatively new to the market.

Flavors are smooth and wheaty, though a but muted and dull. Some light breadiness, and hint of banana but not much. Overall a bit oxidized, papery, and watery. Not something i'll drink again. The tap sample was fairly tart, and that seemed a little odd though marginally acceptable.
